Homey, friendly and immaculately clean accommodations. Pat was so helpful. The driveway is a bit hard to see on the way by but the place is scenic and convenient for leaving on the ferry. Ate a great meal at the Custom House pub.

The location is great, especially for access to the ferry ports. We visited Logan Botanic Gardens, Glenwhan Gardens and Castle Kennedy which are all within a short drive from Cairnryan. We had a lovely meal at Henry's Bay House restaurant in Stranraer. Also had a nice snack from Subway in Stranraer and delicious soup with home made bread at Glenwhan Gardens.
Would avoid trying to find somewhere to eat in Stranraer town as there are few restaurants that looked appealing.

It was where we caught the ferry to Ireland and if ever going again I would definitely use Cairnryan. We used a restaurant by the name of Henry’s Bay 10 mins away and it was very nice would recommend they did a teatime special that was excellent value for money and the staff were very attentive. The route to Ayr from Cairmryan has a beautiful coast way and well worth a drive to. There were some breathtaking views.

Cairnryan sits on the side of Loch Ryan and is therefore one sided. The village is 10-15 minutes from Stranraer which has plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants. As a touring base or a stopover for the ferry Cairnryan is ideal but if you want nightlife that’s out.
We ate in Henry’s Bay House Restaurant which is very good. As for activities for young couples my wife and I are 73 and 70 years young so no advice on that. On the other side of the loch there are quite a few nice beaches within a 12 mile drive but take a picnic. As stated above touring is ideal. Portpatrick and the Mull of Galloway are well worth a visit in fine weather, as are Castle Kennedy and Logan gardens.

The whole experience was made easy by the friendliness of all. The only problem I had was it was too short. I would have liked to have been able to stay for a few days. But was unable to do so because of the nature of my travel reason.
Very nice and clean lodging with a beautiful view.
Pat and Bill are excellent hosts and they are very helpful and accommodating. From the original booking 5 months ago, keeping in touch in the months leading up to our trip, picking us up at the ferry and dropping us off to catch our bus the next morning, they made sure that we were looked after.
And we can’t forget about the delicious Scottish breakfast in the morning! We would definitely recommend the Cairnryan B & B. 🇨🇦🏴
We were staying overnight before catching the ferry from Cairnryan. This is an exceptional place - full of carefully thought out detail and nice touches. Huge comfortable bed and a good little kitchen. One of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had (eggs Benedict with fresh spinach, great hollandaise and whole meal muffin). All accompanied by curlews and oyster catchers and a beautiful hare in the garden. We would happily have stayed a week (or more).
This is an excellent guesthouse. I couldn’t fault it in any way. The owner, Pat, could not have been more helpful with organising a booking for dinner and directing me how to get there. I believe this is presently the only B&B in Cairnryan, which is the closest village to where Stena operates its ferries to Belfast. The Stena terminal is less than 5 minutes away (which was relevant to me because I was travelling to Belfast).
Incredibly large room with true American king-sized bed. Living area and soaking tub in our suite with TV above the soaking tub. We had very early departure for a ferry and our to-go breakfast was at our door when we were ready to leave. Ferry is less than 5 mins from the property. Host was helpful and accommodating to help us with local resources.
There was a friendly welcome. The room was spacious and had sofa seats for watching TV. Bottled water was provided, so were chocolates, biscuits and a good range of hot drinks including a nice coffee machine. The proprietors were thoughtful & there was great attention to detail. The hotel is close to the Cairnryan ferry port.
Pat and Bill are very welcoming hosts. The bedroom was spotless. They had thought of everything. All the modern conveniences of a high class hotel in a charming Bed and Breakfast. Pat made us a taste packed breakfast to take on our early ferry the next morning. We would definitely stay here again.
Lovely place, exceptionally easy for the ferry I needed to catch the next day. Maggie is a gem and made me feel right at home immediately! The room was lovely and much larger than I had anticipated. I only wish I could have stayed longer.
The location is perfect for the ferry from Cairnryan.
The property is clean, big and located in a great spot
The owners are nice and friendly
The room was big and clean
Breakfast was terrific: ample choice of cooked and cold food.
The breakfast in this lovely hotel is top of the pops ! Everything cooked to order perfectly . Paul and John are such brilliant hosts . Cheerful and they gave thought of everything that you could possibly need . Great place
Pat was very welcoming and friendly. The room was equipped with all the amenities expected of a good B&B. Access (to and from) was convenient i.e. without disturbing others. I would book Cairnryan B&B again.
Absolutely ideal for travellers heading on the early ferries from Cairnryan. Great night's sleep, nice to relax after the journey with a well appointed kitchen and comfy sofa.
Easy access to Cairnryan port. Very friendly welcome, and cosy clean room and en-suite. What more could we ask for when traveling. Delicious Scottish cooked breakfast.
This property was just what we were looking for, which was a quiet place to sleep after we had got off the ferry and before we did a ten hour drive to Skye
Lovely family room on the top floor. Two very large rooms with a bathroom in between. Perfect for a family and less than a 5 minute drive to the ferry.
